We are the precious gem in the Irish wedding industry, the fun hotcake that have been keeping weddings buzzing in recent years. Blacktye have worked with some of Europe’s most successful and with over 20 years’ experience in entertainment, an explosive performance is always on the cards.

From Sinatra to Kings of Leon to modern day giants like Rihanna and Bruno Mars, Blacktye move from song to song effortlessly.

To put the cherry on top of a fantastic night, we’ve got a professional DJ in store who will take over from Blackye and paint the night red. The DJ service is provided by Darragh from the band.

Darragh’s main objective as DJ is to keep guests enthused, the dance floor full and to build on the energy the band created earlier in the evening.

by Gary & Hazel on Blacktye Wedding Band
Brilliant band - interacted very well with the crowd
Date of Wedding: 22nd July 2023

Simply brilliant! They played all the classics and the dance floor was full whenever they were playing.

Great music
Date of Wedding: 19th August 2016

Great music, everyone was dancing all night and commented on having such a good time on the dance floor all night.

by Paddy and Bredge O'Dea on Blacktye Wedding Band
delivered an amazing show.
Date of Wedding: 11th February 2017

Hi Darragh and Band I just wanted to thank you for your amazing performance on our wedding day. We are still getting comments from our guests weeks later on how good you were. You were a treat to deal with, nothing was too much trouble and you delivered an amazing show. Except the dirty dancing bit, which drained every drop of blood from my body immediately. But i know everyone else really enjoyed it from the snapchat responses. I use the word "enjoy" ironically. Hats off to all of your guys, well done and ill be sure to recommend you to anyone thats looking for a band in the future. If you ever need a backup dancer, make sure you don't come anywhere near me. Thanks a million Paddy & Bredge O'Dea

by Lisa Barnwell on Blacktye Wedding Band
Highly recommend.
Date of Wedding: 5th February 2023

Blacktye were absolutely brilliant on our wedding day, so much fun and kept the dance floor going! They were so easy to deal with and very helpful. Highly recommend.

by Helen Behan on Blacktye Wedding Band
very entertaining all night long
Date of Wedding: 8th June 2018

Blacktye are more than a run-of-the mill wedding band. They are a real band that have such a good rapport with one another on stage it shines through and adds to the atmosphere. There is no awkwardness or cringeyness about them which we hsd found with other wedding bands that we went to see.They are so comfortable on stage I felt I had nothing to worry about. They were very entertaining all night long and their energy was infectious.They could read the crowd so well and played something for everybody from waltzes to raves! It was such a delight seeing my mother run to find her sister to waltz or jive to a particular song they might have loved as teenagers. She was so impressed and is still talking about it 3 weeks on. I feel like we were so lucky to have found them and would highly recommend Blacktye.

Thrilled to bits
Date of Wedding: 14th January 2023

Amazing band. Had our guests on the floor all night. Great fun and Darragh was there to ensure everything ran as planned (we had a lot of little extras to be included in the night). Thrilled to bits with our choice, as were our guests.

by Mark Mac Artain on Blacktye Wedding Band
very professional, very polished, very musical
Date of Wedding: 30th September 2016

Hi Darragh, One month on from our wedding I just wanted to add to what Amanda has said to you already. Blacktye on the night were very professional, very polished, very musical. We have had so many compliments from so many guests who really enjoyed themselves. The most memorable and frequent comment was that so many people got up to dance and stayed up on the dance floor. You really did get the balance of the music right, both set list and volume, and that made a great day even better. Thanks so much again, wishing you every success in the future, Mark Mac Artain

very talented and wonderful people
Date of Wedding: 9th April 2017

Darragh and the rest of the Blacktye band were absolutely lovely to deal with. I booked them for the full day and they were so accommodating in requests made by ourselves and our guests. They are all very talented and wonderful people. The pricing was fair and suited our budget- remember with a band and food you need to pay for good quality- as they are the two things people remember. They were so good I know a couple of brides to be at my own wedding that were interested in booking them for their big day. Thanks so much Darragh and gang- you helped make the day extra enjoyable and special

by Cara & Rob on Blacktye Wedding Band
Fantastic band
Date of Wedding: 22nd April 2013

Dear Ruth and Darragh, I just wanted to send an email to you before we head off on honeymoon as I won't get the formal thank you out before we go on and I really wanted to say what a fantastic day we had. We both had a great time dancing to your fantastic band. We really enjoyed our first dance which you performed beautifully and you made sure what could have been a very stressful time, a wonderful and memorable dance. Your kindness,attention to detail and good humour ensured the evening ran smoothly. Thank you for all you hard work in ensuring we had a very special day.Kind regards.

absolutely brilliant
Date of Wedding: 4th March 2017

We found it really difficult to choose a wedding band as it's so hard to tell how the showcase will translate on the night. But Blacktye were absolutely brilliant. For us, the big thing was that they were fun and energetic - it's really clear from the videos on their Facebook page that they know how to keep the dancefloor full all night. They really didn't disappoint and I would so highly recommend them if you are looking for an entertaining, fun band who are great musicians and know how to interact with the crowd. Darragh was so helpful to deal with on every aspect of things and always happy to answer questions or be flexible to whatever we needed. The band were super professional on the night and worked really hard. Our dinner ended earlier than expected so they probably played for a longer time than usual but managed to keep the floor full and the tempo up all night. The music at the drinks reception was really great too. All of our guests really enjoyed them - it was so much fun, they are so decent and hardworking, I would really recommend them for your big day.
